CloneProperty()

Property CloneProperty	(	Property	source,
		string	name
	)

Creates a property type by cloning an existing property type.

The new property type inherits from the source property all its properties except for the name.

Parameters

source	Source property type.
name	Name of property type. To avoid naming clashes, make sure that you use a unique name.

Returns

The property type.

Examples

To clone a property type:

        public void Execute(PluginCommandParameter parameter)
        {
            // Get the Property Types library in the project.
            var propertyTypesLibrary = studio.ActiveProject.PropertyTypeLibrary;

            // Create a boolean property type and set:
            // - Name to MyPlugin.BooleanPropertyType
            // - Name as it is shown in Kanzi Studio to Boolean Property Type
            // - Category in which Kanzi Studio shows the property type to My Plugin Properties

CreateProperty()

Property CreateProperty	(	Type	dataType,

	)

Creates a property type of data type you specify.

The property type you create with this function uses the default values for each new property type. For example, when you create a property type of integer data type, the values for the Lower Bound, Upper Bound, and Step are not defined. Note that to create some property types you need to include the correct using directive. For example, to create a property type of the vector 2D data type you need to include the System.Windows using directive.

Parameters

dataType	The data type of the property type.
name	The name of the property that you use with the Kanzi Engine API. The name must be unique among the property types and must not contain spaces.
displayName	The name of the property as it is shown in Kanzi Studio.
category	The category in which Kanzi Studio shows this property type.

Returns

The property type of data type you create.

Examples

To create a property type of the Vector3D data type:

        public void Execute(PluginCommandParameter parameter)
        {
            // Get the Property Types library in the project.
            var propertyTypesLibrary = studio.ActiveProject.PropertyTypeLibrary;

            // and the minimum amount by which the value of the property can change.
            Vector3D lowerBoundaries = new Vector3D(0, 0, 0);
            Vector3D upperBoundaries = new Vector3D(10, 10, 10);
            Vector3D step = new Vector3D(1, 1, 1);

            // Create a Vector3D property type in the Property Types library and set:

CreateVector4DProperty()

Vector4DProperty CreateVector4DProperty	(	string	name,
		string	displayName,
		string	category,
		Quaternion?	lowerBound,
		Quaternion?	upperBound,
		Quaternion?	step
	)

Creates a property type of the vector 4D data type.

Note that to create a vector 4D data type you need to add the using directive for the System.Windows.Media.Media3D namespace.

Parameters

name	The name of the property that you use with the Kanzi Engine API. The name must be unique among the property types and must not contain spaces.
displayName	The name of the property as it is shown in Kanzi Studio.
category	The category in which Kanzi Studio shows this property type.
lowerBound	The lower value limit of the property. To use the default value of the data type, set to null.
upperBound	The upper value limit of the property. To use the default value of the data type, set to null.
step	The minimum amount by which the value of the property can change. To use the default value of the data type, set to null.

Returns

The property type of the Vector4D data type.
